"Some Beautiful Roses You Can Have" by Leonard Barron
Another small-flowered rose that suffers neglect through the overwhelming importance of its brothers and sisters is the Scotch brier, which will make dense, compact bushes suitable for hedges, and will flourish in dry, sandy, shallow soils where no other member of the family will even make an apology for living.

Rosa Spinosissima  (R. pimpinellifolia : The Burnet or Single Scotch Rose)
This species obtains its name from the peculiarity and abundance of its prickles. It is the most spiny of all roses, as any one who handles it will speedily discover. In character it is a small bushy shrub, branches erect, 1 to 4 feet high, crowded with sharp straight-pointed prickles together with many smaller ones passing into stiff bristles and glandular hairs, both wood and prickles being brown in colour. The leaves are small and destitute of glands. The flowers are white, sometimes pink, cup- shaped, small, about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches in diameter, very fleeting when fully developed. It should be gathered in the bud stage if required for decoration. The transient nature of the open blossom is, however, neutralised by the abundance of the flowers. This species is one of the earliest of roses; coming into bloom in May. The fruit is round, turning from purple to a dead black as it ripens. B. spinosissima prefers open sandy situations near the sea ; it is fairly distributed, being found, amongst other places, in Cornwall (the writer received his first plant from the neighbourhood of Penzance), the Channel Islands, Ireland, and Scotland, in which last-mentioned place it flourishes at an altitude of 1700 feet. It is therefore at home in diverse climates. The best way to obtain satisfactory plants of this rose is from seed, which speedily germinate. It is recommended that the seed should be sown in the place where it is desired to have the rose. Being of dwarf habit it is suitable for a border to a shrubbery. Sow the seed in a row, and in a year or two you will have a compact bushy little hedge averaging from 18 to 24 inches high and 12 inches thick. R. spinosissima is distinct, easy to propagate, hardy, and comes into flower so early that room should be made for it in every rose garden.

Rosa Spinosissima. The Scotch Rose.
Well has this Rose been named "Spinosissima," for it is indeed the most spiny of all Roses, and the spines are as sharp as they are plentiful.  They are far more so than they seem to be; and a word of caution here may save the tyro an unpleasant greeting.  The Scotch Rose is a native species, growing plentifully in many parts of Britain.  I have somewhere read or heard it stated that the first double Scotch Roses were raised from seed by Mr Brown, a nurseryman at Perth, who collected plants from their native wilds, planted them in his nursery, and flowered and gathered seeds from them there.  Some of the plants raised from these seeds produced double flowers.  It is from that part of Britain many of our finest varieties have issued, and varieties have been exceedingly numerous; for they seed so abundantly, and the seed vegetates so freely, that there is no difficulty in raising seedlings.  But with English amateurs they are not popular; why, I do not know, except it arise from the short duration of their flowers.
They all form compact bushes, being usually grown as such, for they are not well adapted for standards.  They flower abundantly, and early in the season.  The flowers are small and globular, many of them as they hang on the bush looking like little balls.  I recollect being much struck with a stand of these Roses brought to one of the Horticultural exhibitions in the month of May.  The season was an early and a genial one, and they were produced in great beauty.
Scotch Roses are in good taste planted as a hedge round a Rosarium, where such may be required ; a bank of Scotch Roses I should also conceive to produce a good effect. They like a pure air and indeed what Roses do not ? but will grow almost anywhere.*
When plants of the Scotch Rose become established in the soil the stems push laterally under ground, often rising to the surface at a considerable distance from the mother plant. These are called suckers, and are separated from the mother to form new plants, and thus is the Scotch Rose propagated.  It is not easy to confound this with any other group, the spines are so thickly set on the stems. The growth is dwarf. The flowers are mostly blush, small, double, and globular in form, possessed of a peculiarly grateful fragrance. The plants resemble each other so nearly in every respect that it seems only necessary to affix the colours.
*I recollect once meeting with a plant at Garth Point, North Wales, which had fastened itself into the crevice of a bare rock, where it not only lived but flourished.  It was alone, no plant disputed its position.
